28 Week Survey....welcome to 3rd Trimester!!!!!!

How far along? 28 weeks  Can't believe I'm in my last trimester already!  Doesn't seem possible but glad it is here!
Total weight gain/loss: so far this pregnancy I'm up 18.2 lbs.
How big is baby? The baby is 16 inches long and weighs 2.5lbs....woo hoo!!!!  My little guys is getting big!
Maternity clothes? YES!!!! 
Sleep: I usually get a daily nap when Nataleigh lays down for her afternoon nap...can last up to 3 hours...woo hoo...but I this last week has been crazy so I just got back to taking naps...thank goodness for that because I am not sleeping hardly at all at night.  I have a hard time falling asleep and then once I fall asleep I wake up usually every hour to readjust or just for the sake to check out the time...bad habit.  I need my sleep because I have noticed I'm grouchy when I don't get enough sleep...and I am also surprised that I only go to the bathroom once during the night so that's not the problem.
Best moment this week: not sure....probably feeling the little guy moving around.
Movement: yes...he is such a little wiggle worm!
Food cravings: anything and everything!  I have quite the appetite and I feel hungry all the time...as I am writing this Nate is eating a sub and I want some of it soooo bad!  GRRR!!!  j/k
Gender:Beautiful Baby BOY!!!
Labor Signs:  Well I figured out why I was having so much vaginal/abdominal pressure.  I was in the OB unit 1 1/2 weeks ago because I thought my water was leaking....that's what happened with Nataleigh so I thought it could be happening now so soon...well it turns out I had a yeast infection causing the pressure and my water is fine...Baby Boy Buchinger is doing great and is moving around a ton!  Thank God for watching over me!
Belly Button in or out? In..but getting bigger and more shallow.
Stretchmarks? No new ones.
How are you feeling? getting more exhausted as time is getting closer to D-Day...my little Nataleigh is full of energy and keeps me on my feet chasing after her all day long except for when she is taking her nap....ahhh I love nap time!  Other than that things are going well in our household.  Nate was sick the last couple of days but is feeling better but now Nataleigh might have caught whatever he had so I am keeping my eye on her.
What I am looking forward to: 1) putting up our Christmas Tree....ya I know we're slackers....actually we can't find our tree at the moment...we got out some of our Christmas decor and found out we didn't have our tree at our apartment so we are trying to hunt it down.  2) Christmas is a week away!!!!  I did great this year but I just hope the last minute gifts I ordered online will come in time to be wrapped and given at the family Christmas.  3)  3rd Trimester Baby!!!!!!
What I miss: sleeping on my back, not having a huge appetite and getting good sleep. 
Weekly Wisdom:
REMEMBER TO TAKE MY VITAMINS!!! I've been doing much better with this one..but it's still very important.  Eat in moderation....I think I have been doing better with this one too...but again it's a great reminder!
Milestones: Reached Viability!  YAY!!!!  In my 3rd Trimester....it's here already!
Nate & I talked the other day and he thinks I'll have our little guy in February....yikes...that's only 2 months away!  We'll see...I think I am going to go early again but only God knows when I will actually have him!

Well I am still without a camera but here is a fun picture of me holding my niece Amelia, nephew Graydon and a friend's baby Kadence.  Hope you enjoy it!



That's all for now...Till next time!

26 Week Survey

How far along? 26 weeks
Total weight gain/loss:+5 lbs over 2 weeks...eek!  It's okay though.  I'm still doing really well this time around!
How big is baby? The baby is 9 plus inches long and weighs 2lbs....woo hoo!!!!
Maternity clothes? YES!!!!  I had a special blessing this week...my friend Paula gave me 7 diaper boxes full of Maternity clothes...different seasons and sizes...most of them fit and I am so excited that I have a new wardrobe...THANKS PAULA!!!
Sleep: I get a daily nap when Nataleigh lays down for her afternoon nap...can last up to 3 hours...woo hoo...at night is a different story...Nate told me today that my SNORING is getting worse...I could be due to the fact that I have a very sore throat right now and can hardly swallow...so I will be going to the doctors on Monday to make sure I don't have an infection...would not be very good for our little man on board!
Best moment this week: Spending some time with a girlfriend, my mom, Nataleigh and of course my wonderful husband.  I actually work a couple days too!
Movement: yes...he is such a little wiggle worm!
Food cravings: I feel good about not gaining a ton of weight at Thanksgiving..woo hoo!  I am craving all kinds of things..pickles are one of my favorites though :D
Gender:Beautiful Baby BOY!!!
Labor Signs:I've a few contractions this week but nothing time able.  I've been having some lower abdominal pain and a lot of vaginal pressure.
Belly Button in or out? In..but getting bigger and more shallow.
Stretchmarks? No new ones.
How are you feeling? pretty good.  I'm happy and excited about this pregnancy.  I have okay energy levels when I get a nap and when I sleep well at night.
What I am looking forward to: I am looking forward to nothing as exciting as the last couple of weeks.  I am looking forward to spending some more time with Nate this week..he has 4 days off in a row and I have some plans for us...1) Get Christmas Decor up....woo hoo!  2) Switch our room to Nataleigh's room....too many reasons to explain why we are doing this!  That should definitely keep me busy.
What I miss: sleeping on my back, not having a huge appetite and getting good sleep.

I need to get my camera out and take a few photos.  I'll post them later.
